Among the celebrities that are quite active on social media are former England captain Michael Vaughan and India opener Wasim Jaffer. The former players are having a great post-retirement time on social media because they are both hilarious. The two are frequently seen together on the platform, and it’s entertaining to witness their funny chat. At Wankhede Stadium on Friday, Vaughan attempted to ridicule Jaffer by drawing attention to the Indian batter’s dismal batting average; however, the Mumbaikar responded to his teasing with a well-reasoned remark.

After India’s historic victory over Sri Lanka in Thursday’s Cricket World Cup 2023 match, Vaughan commented, “It was a pleasure to attend the Wankhede yesterday. #India’s greatest batting surface. As a local boy, @WasimJaffer14 averaged an astounding 7.75 in Test cricket at such an iconic cricket venue. #Mumbai.”
“Yes, Michael Wankhede is a batting haven; too bad, in the few Tests I was there, I was unable to take advantage of it. Maybe because I liked challenges better. Like the challenge of hitting 200s and 300s on the road or in Test matches, but you wouldn’t experience any of those emotions, so never mind,” Jaffer responded.
Speaking of the India vs. Sri Lanka match in Mumbai, Mohammed Shami was outstanding with five wickets taken as the team led by Rohit Sharma thumped the visitors by 302 runs, their largest ODI World Cup victory, to advance to the semi-finals.
After Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis invited the team to bat first, India amassed a massive total of 357 for 8 in 50 overs, driven by the influential knocks of Shubman Gill (92), Virat Kohli (88), and Shreyas Iyer (82 off 56). The Indian pacers unleashed utter havoc in the aftermath.
Before Mohammed Siraj took three wickets, Jasprit Bumrah established the tone with a first-ball wicket. The next man, Mohammed Shami, helped India end the match early with a five-wicket haul (5 for 18 in 5 overs).
India’s victory also allowed them to take back the top spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023 points standings.
